Are you an exhausted parent or caregiver? Does your child have frequent “melt downs”? Have you tried numerous methods, but nothing seems to help your child calm down? It is important for you to have someone in your life who can empathize with you and support you and your child. You are not alone. I am here to partner with you and assist you with teaching your child ways to control his or her emotions and to learn healthy coping skills. By using Child Parent Relationship Therapy, your child will feel more empowered, increased self-esteem, and become more self-sufficient. I believe you are the expert, yet I will help you to identify strengths and gifts that you possess.
I have over 20 years of counseling experience with children and adults. I am here to empathically listen, provide a safe environment, and help you to identify the internal resources. As a Registered Play Therapist and Child-Centered Play Therapist, I specialize in working with children with symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, and high functioning Autism
As a Christian, I believe in the transformative power of God’s unconditional love and His ability to heal your heart. I offer prayer and evidence-based biblical counseling upon request. I provide a welcoming and non-judgement environment for Christians as well as non-Christians.
I look forward to partnering with on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
